5:01 pm
a day this is our tease from the ground have you with us the opposition has announced it will boycott the referendum on the new constitution saying that the document fails to represent the whole nation president morsi has ordered the military to maintain security until after saturday's vote on the disputed draft it is viewed by many as discriminatory and journalist bell true has more from cairo. national salvation front which is the coalition of opposition forces the press conferences they express their complete rejection of the referendum of the constitution which they say in force is dictatorial tendencies and the key economic and social rights that called for more protests on tuesday against this document and said that basically they will not stand down how this will be responded to by the president is yet to be seen in all of the speeches by the president and over the statements he's made he's firmly back the referendum on the street speaking to the protesters behind me as you can see gathered in front of the presidential palace they believe that his initial confusion that gratian which awarded him
5:02 pm
stooping power as they said to me this evening was really to ensure that the constitution was drafted and put to referendum so the president's main aim really is they say how this constitution puts in place how he reacts to the to the boycott by the opposition forces i guess in there or not is a huge boycotts nationwide or whether it is not large enough to make an impact behind me there are republican guards have had a tank stationed outside the presidential palace they've also built a twelve foot concrete barricades however the protesters on friday in quite extraordinary scenes essentially overwhelm the republican guards and push through in front of the presidential gates where they are now people on the streets of the republican guard essentially stepped aside and so many leading many to believe the military perhaps not backing morsi to the same extent that he is saying they are he has called for them to secure the streets they're all fears that violence will escalate this bloody scenes on wednesday when rival groups clashed here just at the
5:03 pm
presidential palace between pro brotherhood pro presidential supporters and protest is leaving at least seven dead at the national salvation front themselves in this press conference said this referendum will really just simply increase division in the country possibly to further violence as these protest groups maintain that positions so definitely the military may well we may see more tanks in the streets here in the. as this is the crisis the pain is that the u.s. has made no comment on egypt's draft constitution and that is despite the document coming in for criticism for undermining basic freedoms geo political analyst william engdahl says washington is secretly supporting the muslim brotherhood to turn egypt into an islamic dictatorship you have the brotherhood which is being supported by the state department in the obama administration as it is an analogous vehicle to create a if you will an islamic dictatorship in egypt but they're pushing a black agenda a secret agenda much much like. masonry organization the secret societies where the
5:04 pm
triads are the the japan and so forth they're pushing to get an agenda on the population and the population rightly so expose was gone and i think this is the coptic christian groups are threatened if the book brotherhood gets its constitution and imposing sharia law or other groups for muslims for example sufi places of worship are under attack in egypt and likely will be increasingly so and this is probably one of the most major. intelligence projects of the last fifty years since the u.s. government support of the muslim brotherhood to create islamic fascist regime if you want to use that term across the islamic world across the muslim world from afghanistan down through turkey into saudi arabia qatar and of course egypt. syria's rebels have joined forces under one military command which they hope will unite diverse groups in the western backed struggle against president assad this
5:05 pm
past week the international community again voiced fears that the syrian government could deploy chemical weapons to defeat opposition fighters something damascus denies kind of that you can look at whether the chemical arsenal is a real threat or a pretext for intervention. u.s. officials said intelligence agencies have detected that assad's government has been preparing its chemical weapons stockpiles for possible use the obama administration's message to syria the u.s. is ready to act if you make the tragic mistake of using these weapons there will be consequences and you will be held accountable there will be consequences. there will be consequences we have sent a unmistakable message that this would cross a red line how does america the media quickly picked up on the alarming news of the syrian government's alleged plans citing secret intelligence for fox news confirms that syrian troops now have the deadly nerve agent sarin gas weaponized and at the
5:06 pm
ready the syrian government flatly denied the possibility saying they would not use such weapons against its people. we would not commit suicide we fear there's a conspiracy to provide a pretext for any subsequent interventions in syria by these countries during creasing pressure syria the syrian government sure knows that if they use chemical weapons it would give nato and some of their arab neighbors who are itching to intervene in syria the green light to go ahead with their plans damascus itself says it would be suicidal for them to do so but with the fear and the hype building up over the use of chemical weapons against civilians in syria it seems the u.s. might be preparing grounds to jump the gun on this one the jumping the gun scenario is not new for the u.s. almost twenty years ago the bush administration confidently presented false evidence to invade iraq we have first hand descriptions of biological weapons factories on wheels and on rails the invasion triggered
5:07 pm
a civil war that killed more than one hundred thousand innocent iraqis and years later all washington had to say about this was the president thought it was correct congress thought it was of course i regret that it turned out a lot of it was wrong in the run up to the iraq invasion the us media was instrumental in selling the case to the public the congress never had any proof ever present ever of weapons of mass destruction all came from tony blair to the bush and congress who writes now that the u.s. has drawn a red line on syria it has made it clear it's ready to take action but how i'm not going to telegraph in any specifics what we would do in the event of. a credible evidence that the assad regime has resorted to using chemical weapons against their own people but suffice it to say we are certainly planning to.
5:08 pm
take action if that eventuality were to occur to american warships are already near the syrian coast with some. one thousand u.s. marines and dozens of fighter jets on board on top of that nato is sending american german and dutch batteries of patriot anti-aircraft missiles to turkey's border with syria meaning hundreds more u.s. and european troops will be deployed to the frontier nato says deploying patriot missiles along syrian borders is a defensive step to prevent syria from attacking turkey i don't think there's any requirement whatsoever for patriot batteries on the ground in turkey again the patriot missiles are designed to really protect primarily against incoming theater ballistic missiles or aircraft the syrians are not going to attack the turks the turks have the most powerful military establishment in the region the largest army in nato and intervention in syria will be as bad if not worse than what we experienced in iraq the pentagon said they would need seventy five thousand troops
5:09 pm
to secure syria's weapons of mass destruction the question on everyone's mind is are they seriously considering that kind of a mess of intervention because that could mean another you rock coming soon and invasion that could be followed by years of bloody civil war in washington i'm going to check on. syrian political activist dr dollar points to the evidence that a chemical attack is more likely to come from the other side of the conflict there's another side to the story recently there have been some troubling you that we have seen on you tube and some other reports of of the jihadist groups in northern syria assessing some chemical materials with the name of. a turkish company on them in the background there was a music playing out of this chance. that it's very worrying they were conducting some experiments on on rabbits it's difficult to verify but if it is not the blast
5:10 pm
then this is this is very very worrying because judging by the effect of this gas it is a convulsing so it's so nerve agent. and this is a dangerous development perhaps if you look also at the fact that the united states has recently started listing the syrian armed opposition all of the armed opposition in syria as terrorist organizations that say something but probably aware of that part of the of the armed opposition in syria and probably be seen most powerful of the position broadly in the surf wrong probably aren't possession of such materials and probably are planning to use them as they threatened so i think the danger is that the west is aware of such materials in syria at the same time it's going to be used against the syrian government as a pretext for intervention britain is now facing five more years of austerity the

everyone how not to be picking their way through the fact that i think it's a while was there or not i think it is one thing but it was very very clear enough that the u.k. is set to face even that all started you know what they say they say to the u.k. economy is going to shrink by nowhere. one percent by the end of twenty twelve now it sounds like a small amount but of course no sign of that all important in fact what we're seeing is that borrowing has gone up the debt has risen and fallen and most crucially i think is probably the fact that the government had no reduction target so we're now facing an extended austerity program this day so it's right the way to twenty eighteenth's a pretty gloomy outlook and this is what we're. also going to really not be more millions of families all across the again one thing here and of course this is really going to bring in real terms to speak to us more about this or some
